July 2025 - Converting a Tugboat to Electric
2025-07-09 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | San Diego Automotive Museum, 2080 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, 92101, United States
Join us as we hear about the process and benefits of converting a tugboat to electric.
The electric vehicle association got its start decades ago by people that wanted to convert cars to electric. Now a local boatyard has just completed the conversion of a diesel tugboat. A recent article in the SD Union covered how this happened in our own back yard.
Leah Yam of Marine Group Boat Works will give us the details on how and why they undertook conversion of a tugboat.
Please RSVP on Meetup so we can plan for pizza.

September 2025 - E-Fueling the Delivery Trucks
2025-09-10 18:00 - 20:00 | San Diego Automotive Museum, 2080 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, 92101, United States
Driving an EV is a no brainer for many of us. Charging at home is so effortless that we soon forget the hassle and smells of using a gas station. But what about all those trucks that keep all the goods flowing through our economy? Oil prices can have a significant impact on UPS and Amazon delivery costs. How about the trucks that keep Costco and Walmart stocked? Expansion of distribution hubs are getting a lot of pushback because of pollution – because of both fumes and noise.
Our September presentation will be by Skycharger. They have been building out charging for light and medium duty trucks since 2013. One of these is the Tidelands Avenue Electric Truck Hub (EHub) project. It will be a major step towards the Port meeting its 2030 goal of 100% zero-emission trucking to improve air quality and healthier portside communities. The EHub will support the replacement of dirty diesel trucks with clean electric trucks by deploying 70 fast charging stations, along with a solar array and battery storage. The EHub will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, reduce noise pollution, and increase opportunities in National City and other neighboring communities.
Come learn about how EHub and other projects impact you even if you don’t own a truck.

October 2025 - Power Your Home From Any EV
2025-10-08 18:00 - 20:00 | San Diego Automotive Museum, 2080 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, 92101, United States
Battery backup for home energy needs has always been a great way to balance generation and demand. The problem has been justifying the up front cost of the battery. What if you could use your EV battery while it is parked at home? Not all cars are set up to support this.
Or are they? Sigenergy has come up with a way to implement bi-directional flow with almost any EV – even Teslas. Join us as we hear from Steve Branch about their system that integrates solar, grid power, and EV batteries.
Please RSVP on Meetup so we can plan for pizza.
